The Tartan Army have been well received after they based themselves in Providence for the World Cup. The skirl of bagpipes has become a familiar noise in the US city after thousands of members of Scotland fans flocked there for the World Cup.
A representative from a Rhode Island visitors' organisation joked she can hear bagpipes "in my sleep" as buoyant punters base themselves in the New England city during the tournament.
While more than 20,000 Scotland fans are thought to have travelled to Boston for the World Cup, at least another 5,000 are believed to have made their way to nearby Providence.
The smaller city is easily within travelling distance of the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, where Scotland played Haiti at the weekend and will return to face Morocco in their second group game this Friday.
Alana O'Hare, senior director of communications at GoProvidence, said cheaper prices had also attracted some Tartan Army members to the area.
She told Radio 5 Live that bagpipes had been heard around Providence over the last four days, despite it not being an official World Cup host city.
She said: "We've really been so happy to have the Tartan Army - the Providence Tartan Army is what they're calling themselves - but they found us on their own. They're resourceful, and they're smart travellers."
Ms O'Hare said the city had been prepared. She continued: "We've worked with the local bars and restaurants to prepare them for what we always expected was going to be more fans in a really rowdy group."
England fans are also expected to visit Providence when the team's games take them to Foxborough. Scotland fans have been taking in Providence's waterfire art installation, Ms O'Hare said, as well as chartering a boat tour.
Asked if she is used to the sound of bagpipe music yet, she said: "Oh, absolutely. I hear it in my sleep. That, and 'No Scotland, no party'."
Describing this Scotland chant, she said: "I didn't know what it meant until they came and now I'll never forget it."
